Not doing a good job here, so I'm going to change that.

9/27/2017

TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Basics, stretched out, forms (Yoo Sin), one-steps, sparring. After class, we reviewed our first two three-step sparring sets, and me and one of the youthful and enthusiastic 2nd dans talked and worked some sparring concepts.

We also had a visitor pop in for class tonight. It was a gentleman who was a black belt at the academy when I joined up many years ago. He had moved to one of the Dakotas for work in 2002. He stated he should be popping in now and then, which would be really cool. It was nice to see him, and he stated he had started up Shotokan a little while ago, which is cool. I figured he had been doing something, because he slipped and answered with Osu a couple of times. He also let a few hand techniques to the head slip in sparring, which was fun.

At any rate, it was good to see an old, familiar face pop back into class.

TKD Class: 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Warmed up prior to class on the new speed bag we have put up in the dojang. Been some years, but still lots of fun. Then onto basics, forms (Yoo Sin) one-steps and three-steps, and a bit of no-pads sparring at about 25%. Finished off with a stretch.
